Its distributorships of cars, SUVs, trucks and commercial vehicles include global brand names such as Ford, Honda, Acura, Lincoln, Mazda, Volvo, Kia, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and Hyundai, complemented by its parts and service departments staffed by highly trained and certified auto mechanics.

The restaurant became so popular that lines of patrons were the norm everyday. In 1985, WDI became Capricciosa's business development partner, and from this collaboration began a move to multi-restaurant expansion. While continuing to open new locations, Capricciosa was heralded in the media as the "Italian Eatery with a Line," and as the pioneer of casual Italian dining, it gave rise to the Italian restaurant boom. In 1991, the first overseas restaurant opened in Guam. More restaurants continue to open in overseas and primarily in Asian counties in recent years
